Chapter Eighty-Five: Come On!

4.85 Come on!

The distance from the foot of the mountain to the mountain temple on the mountainside of Xiaomiao Mountain is a gentle slope, which is not conducive to defense, so there is only one company stationed on the mountainside, and the remaining three companies of the 4th Battalion and the three companies of the 12th Brigade are deployed on the top of the mountain, and the slope from the top of the mountain to the mountainside is steep, which is not conducive to the Japanese army's upward attack, and can better play the crossfire of machine guns. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Japanese army also knew the military value of Xiaomiao Mountain, so they put more than 1 brigade into the attack, and also brought 6 75mm mountain guns.

Devils in yellow dog skins poured towards Xiaomiao Mountain from the road, and the devils of the artillery and brigade stopped at the foot of the mountain, set up machine guns and small cannons to shoot wildly at the mountainside, and under the cover of fire, at least one squadron of devils began to charge!

The short-legged Japanese soldiers climbed the hill quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the devils approached the position of the mountainside.

When entering the last 200 meters, the Japanese army began to advance with a lower waist, and the devils had already regarded the 99th Army as a respectable opponent, and the tactical actions were meticulously executed, and there was no slightest slackness.

This gang of devils looked like they had been beaten by the 99th Army, and they all learned to be obedient!

The 1st company commander of the mountain temple, Niu Erjin, is a donkey temper, and belongs to the master who will not admit defeat if he is on the bar, and the 4th battalion commander Cai Zude is afraid that he will make a mistake, so he let his guards run to inform Niu Erjin on the mountainside, if the Japanese army is in a hurry, they will retreat to the mountain, and they are not allowed to fight! Mortars in the battalion will cover for them.

Battalion Commander Cai was very confident when he said this, this is because the strategic location of Xiaomiao Mountain is too important, in order to control the road under the mountain, Wang Shankui specially transferred 6 82mm mortars to the 4th Battalion, plus the original 4 82mm mortars of the 4th Battalion, Battalion Commander Cai now has a total of 10 mortars, which is very wide!

In addition, Xiaomiao Mountain is condescending, and mortars can even cover the road below the mountain, so if you want to cover Niu Erjin's retreat, there is no problem.

Commander Niu also understood that the vicinity of the mountain temple was not a place for a long battle, but he was unwilling to ask him to easily hand over the mountainside to the Japanese.

Niu Erjin bowed to the mountain temple and thought:

"Lord Mountain God, what a offense! We're all our own people! Your old man has appeared and killed a few Oriental beasts!. ”

The Japanese have an inexplicable worship and awe of the gods, and in the previous shelling, no shell fell on the land of the mountain temple, Niu Erjin felt that this weakness of the Japanese army could be used well!

The devils' spearheads are getting closer and closer, and there is still no movement on the position of the 1st Company, just when these devils are a little confused. The sharp whistle sound spread throughout the entire position, and the officers and men of the 1st Company lifted the camouflage above the weapons from the trenches one after another, and began to strafe!

The 537 Regiment to which Niu Erjin's company belongs is the main force of the 99th Division, so their company is also a 44 system, with 4 platoons, 4 squads in each platoon, and more than 160 people.

The equipment of the 1st company is also equipped according to the standards of the main company, 1 Maxim heavy machine gun per platoon, 1 Czech type per infantry squad, the main and deputy squad leaders all use Thomson submachine guns, and the soldiers are all Mauser 1898, with strong firepower.

The first wave of attacking Japanese troops did not hold out long in front of the position of the 1st Company before retreating, leaving behind dozens of corpses and a few howling wounded soldiers.

Niu Erjin ordered not to replenish the guns for the devil's wounded soldiers, so let them wail like this, just listen to a small song.

The second wave of the Japanese attack came quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another Japanese squadron pounced, Niu Erjin's order just now not to let the devil and the wounded soldiers be shot was very correct, this time the Japanese army did not use artillery fire to open the way, maybe it was those wounded soldiers who played a role.

The devils were getting closer and closer, and the trenches were filled with the click of pulling bolts, and the soldiers placed grenades with uncovered backs and magazines filled with bullets on the edge of the trenches, so that they could be used easily when fighting.

The blocking battle lasted for nearly 1 hour, and the devils attacked three times and retreated three times.

Under the cross-machine gun fire, the losses of the Japanese army were not small, but the grenadiers of the devils also killed and wounded a large number of officers and soldiers of the 1st Company.

The devil's reaction was very fast, and they found that after the 1st company began to retreat, they desperately launched a pursuit despite the mortar shells falling from the sky, and Niu Erjin had to stay behind 1 squad.

In order to hold back the enemy, the broken troops took the initiative to open fire, and finally attracted the enemy to the mountain temple, the small temple was surrounded by Japanese regiments, and there were only two ways in front of the 12 fighters: either surrender or die in battle!

They chose to die in battle!

The Japanese army did not dare to use artillery on the mountain temple, so the battle of the mountain temple lasted for more than half an hour, 12 warriors finished the last bullet and the Japanese army fought to the death, all martyred, the squad leader and 2 soldiers fell on the temple, still holding a weapon without bullets in their hands, and the blood marks at the entrance of the temple were the traces left by the soldiers and the devils when they rushed to kill.

The Japanese don't know if they were scared or out of superstition, but they didn't dare to enter the temple anyway. They withdrew and closed the temple door.

On the mountainside and around the mountain temple, the Japanese army left at least more than 100 corpses, all of which were the achievements of Niu Erjin and their company.

***********************************************

In Baoshan County, the 1st Battalion of the 535th Regiment was also attacked by the 11th Division almost at the same time as the attack on Xiaomiaoshan.

The Japanese army outside the county town strongly attacked the city pass, and as soon as the commander of the 1st battalion let the officers and soldiers enter the position, the black devil soldiers in the field came out.

The Japanese army approached the old city wall of the county seat in the blink of an eye and rushed straight to the city pass!

Baoshan County originally had an old city wall, and later with the opening of Shanghai, Baoshan's economy became more and more active, and the original old city wall gradually began to restrict the development of the county, so it was partially demolished by the locals.

The eastern and southern walls of the county had been completely demolished, and the northern and western walls were later retained due to lack of funds and opposition from some squires.

However, due to the disrepair, coupled with the destruction of devils, planes and artillery in the past few days, the north and west walls are only left with broken city walls.

Fortunately, the city walls of the county town are made of large stones, so they can resist the fire of the Japanese anti-aircraft guns, and the 37 mm battle defense guns and the 92-type infantry guns can only leave a white spot on these large stones, and the shells do not know where they are bounced.

The forward line of defense of the 1st Battalion was at the base of this section of the wall, and the defensive position was very cleverly set up, and here was a dead end of artillery fire.

The Japanese flat-fire guns had no way to take advantage of this dead end, and the mortars and grenadiers that could use parabolic attacks were not powerful enough, and the officers and men of the 1st Battalion even leisurely wiped their weapons when the devils were shelling.

They are accustomed to bloody battles, which of the 99th Army's battles in Songhu was not a vicious battle? Which one didn't win?

With Captain Huang here, what are you afraid of? Isn't it true that even foreign devils call their military commanders "God of War"?

The Nagatsu Sabi Sami shelling did not achieve the expected effect, and I was very irritable!

The importance of Chengguan is very clear to Yongjin Zuobi.

The Japanese army along the way was personally led by him, and if you want to capture Baoshan County, you must take the city pass!

Therefore, the competition between China and Japan for Chengguan has reached a white-hot level from the very beginning!

The Japanese launched a series of attacks on the scale of a squadron, and the 1st Battalion repelled 5 consecutive Japanese charges in 2 hours!

The deaths and wounds of hundreds of Japanese soldiers, Nagatsu Sabi Daisa was like he didn't see it. Without even hesitating, he ordered the sixth charge.

The defense line of Chengguan showed signs of wavering in this attack, and Wang Shankui also knew that Chengguan was the key point of Baoshan, so he began to command the troops of the 535th Regiment at the next level, and he did not let go of the platoon-level engagement.

With a wave of Wang Shankui's hand, all the reserves of the 1st Battalion joined the Chengguan battlefield, and the balance that began to tilt towards the Japanese army was pressed back again.

The two captains under Yongjin Sabi Dazuo were killed and 1 wounded, and the officers at the squad leader level were almost replaced, but Chengguan was still firmly in the hands of the 99th Army, and the back of Yongjin Sabi's neck had begun to feel the chill from the beloved sword of His Excellency the division commander.

Seeing that the intention of the detour attack had been discovered, the 11th Division decisively abandoned the plan to capture the highway bridge, turned its guns and joined forces with Yongjin Sabi to attack Chengguan to launch a strong attack on Baoshan County.

Wang Shankui ordered Li Yuhe, the commander of the 537th Regiment, to immediately throw out the last reserve in his hand---- 3rd Battalion, and the defensive battle of Baoshan County fell into a stalemate, and neither the 11th Division nor the 99th Army could drive each other away, and they fought together.

So far, the 4 battalions of the 537 Regiment have all participated in the operation, with a total of more than 2,500 troops, and the number of the 22nd Wing of Yongjin Zuobi is about the same as that of the 537 Regiment, but the 22nd Wing has the help of combat vehicles and heavy artillery, and the 537 Regiment is comparable to the 22nd Wing by virtue of its fortifications!

The 537th Regiment was tied with the Japanese when the number was almost equal, and the strong combat effectiveness of the 99th Army made the 11th Division decide to increase its troops again.

The 12th Wing of the 23rd Zo of Anda received an order to reinforce the 22nd Wing.

A few days ago, the 22nd Wing was ordered to reinforce the 12th Wing in Chuanshakou.

Now, the roles of the two sides have been reversed.

Before the 12th Wing arrived in Baoshan County, it was dark with the temporary 12th Brigade and the 537th Regiment who were killed from the oblique stab, and Huang Haoran would not let the Japanese army calmly increase troops in Baoshan.

The two sides fought from morning to afternoon, the 99th Army's side of the temporary 12th Brigade was the first to retreat, and then the 302nd Brigade units also began to retreat, the 11th Division occupied the county town of Chengguan and the part below the mountainside of Xiaomiao Mountain, the position of the temporary 12th Brigade on the left flank of Baoshan County was also broken through, the plaster flag was erected in the county seat, and a large group of Japanese reporters were frantically taking pictures.

This is the "big victory" of the 11th Division! ”

Today's male protagonist, Lieutenant General Yamamuro Sotake, commander of the 11th Division, said arrogantly in front of reporters:

"Our 11th Division has destroyed the backbone of the 99th Division of the China Army in the direction of Baoshan, as long as there are three more days, the Imperial Army will completely annihilate the 2 brigades of the 99th Division in Baoshan, and the 99th Division will cease to exist!"

A reporter named Nine Ghosts Manman asked excitedly:

"Your Excellency, can I understand that you are declaring war on the 99th Army? The imperial army will capture the entire territory of Baoshan in three days? ”

"Yes! This is a declaration of war! It was the battle letter of the 11th Division to the 99th Army! ”

The spotlight flashed into a ......

The excited Japanese military reporters not only published the speech of the head of the Yamamuro Sect in domestic newspapers and military newspapers, but also sent the speech of Lieutenant General Yamamuro Sotake to the Western newspapers in the Shanghai Concession, and the newspapers in the concession rushed to reprint it, and all the front pages were "The Declaration of War of the 11th Division!" Huang Haoran: What about your answer? Such a topic.

Soon, all newspapers received invitations from the 99th Army, and the reporters who realized that the big news was about to arrive jumped into the carriage sent by the 99th Army with their cameras.

Cars operating outside the concession were the top priority targets of Japanese aircraft, and for the safety of the reporters, the 99th Army Special Service called in a large number of horse-drawn carriages.

In order not to reveal the location of the command of the 99th Army, all the reporters were blindfolded with a black cloth and were not allowed to take it off until they arrived at their destination.

The reporters were placed in a large room, the owner of which seemed to be very wealthy, and the interior of the room was luxuriously decorated, no worse than the mansions in the concession.

The reporters who sat in their seats noticed soldiers with loaded guns standing on both sides of the room, and although Western reporters were convinced that their nationality had magical powers in the Far East, they felt that it was better to be less troubled by these soldiers who smelled of blood.

From time to time, there was a rumbling sound of artillery outside the house, could it be that the military headquarters of the 99th Army was very close to the line of fire?

Huang Haoran appeared in the room wearing a black cloak, and his modest military uniform and shiny general won the applause of the reporters.

Huang Haoran's image is very much in line with the standards of heroes in the minds of Westerners.

Such photos will definitely attract the attention of many young girls in the newspapers.

Xu Xinghua stood behind the reporters and grabbed his head, admiring the performance of his immediate boss.

Huang Haoran walked to the stage briskly, and the reporters in the audience immediately raised their hands, like a pile of flagpoles, Huang Haoran motioned for the reporters to put them down, and he began to speak in a sonorous and powerful voice:

"Gentlemen! Ladies! I believe you have all reproduced the declaration of war on me by the Japanese 11th Division, do you want to know my answer? ”

Western reporters didn't expect Huang Haoran to speak so directly as soon as he came up, and they were all stunned, while the Chinese reporters in the crowd began to get excited, and they were expecting Huang Haoran to say something proud.

At this moment, China needs a warrior to boost morale!

Huang Haoran did not disappoint them, and the reporters really got the news today!

Huang Haoran looked around, and then jumped out word by word:

My answer is...... Dog... Excrement! ... Come... Let's do it!! ”

After saying this, Huang Haoran turned to leave, and the reporters who had recovered from the shock immediately chased after them, they wanted to get more news, but Xu Xinghua's agents blocked the reporters' path.

A Chinese reporter was so anxious that he stepped on the foot of the agent who was blocking him, but he didn't expect the agent to say a word of "pain" in Japanese!

There are Japanese in the 99th Army who are serving Huang Haoran? Journalists have found big news again!

Xu Xinghua began to feel a headache......
